The Problem

Your home could be doing more.

Most Central Alberta homeowners have a room or a yard that is underused, underdesigned, or just waiting for a plan that never comes. The idea is usually there long before the plan is.

So we start with the plan. Before a single thing gets built, you know exactly what we will build and what it will cost.

Price it yourself

Find out what an outdoor build costs.
Before you talk to anyone.

We publish our outdoor ranges. Pick the size and finish you are thinking about and our estimator shows what we actually build at, drawn from work we have completed across Central Alberta. Every project is quoted firm after we see it. Interior work gets a starting figure rather than a range, because a kitchen can run anywhere from a stock refit to fully custom and a range that wide is no help to anyone planning.

  • Add several services to see where a whole backyard lands
  • No form and no phone call to see the numbers
  • Ranges you can plan a budget around

Estimates, not quotesThese ranges are for planning. Two things move them. Material is the first, and it applies to everything we build: composite is a category rather than a price, since every brand runs several product lines and colour changes the board cost within a line. Pavers behave the same way from one line and colour blend to the next, as does cedar against vinyl or composite on a fence. The site is the second: access, grade, soil, and whatever is already there. Your firm price comes in writing after we visit your property and assess both, and nothing is final until you have that in hand.

Workmanship Warranty & Product Warranty Badge

Workmanship Warranty

Every Green Ladder build is backed by a written workmanship warranty. Two years on everything we build, apart from patios, walkways and lighting, which are one year. Any defect in our labour or installation found inside that period is repaired or replaced at no cost. Normal wear and tear, weather damage, the natural movement of solid wood, and improper maintenance are excluded. Full terms are in our services agreement.

Plus manufacturer's product warranty applies. Ask us for details on your specific materials.

Designed First

Structure → Design → Build

On a build this size we draw the deck in 3D before we order a board, and we model what holds it up (joists, beams, the hardware at every connection), not just what you walk on. Here is a two-tier composite deck in Red Deer - the framing we drew, the finished design, and the deck we handed over.

Concrete piles below frost line, beam and joist layout, stair stringers. The part you never see is the part that decides how long the deck lasts.

What Clients Say

Google Reviews

"Why would we pick Green Ladder to do the next project too? Because of the thinking they put into; - listening to what we wanted, - understanding the best options for the project, - and balancing the best materials with the costs. But mostly, because of the “heart” they put into the build, as in; - the work that came with a warranty, done absolutely bang on, right down to the last detail, - by letting us know anything that we needed to before they went ahead with it, - and always with their signature “site tidied up everyday”"
